Ridol Tablet contains loperamide (2 mg) which works on the body in the following ways:

• Slows down intestinal motility: Loperamide slows down the movement of the intestines. This reduces the speed at which food and fluids move through this part of your body.

• Reduces stool frequency and volume: By slowing intestinal motility, loperamide effectively reduces both the frequency and volume of stools.

• Increases fluid and electrolyte absorption: The slowed intestinal motility allows more time for the absorption of fluids and electrolytes from the intestines. This makes stools more solid and less frequent.

• Enhances anal sphincter tone: Loperamide increases the tone of the anal sphincter, further assisting in controlling bowel movements.

• Store Ridol Tablet at room temperature, ideally not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the product away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Ensure the packaging remains sealed till required for use.

• Always keep it out of reach of children.

• Use before the expiry date marked on the pack.

• As Ridol Tablet is used to manage diarrhoea, ensure you or the child maintains adequate hydration. Regularly drink clear, electrolyte-rich fluids like coconut water or oral rehydration solutions.

• If you're experiencing traveller's diarrhoea, exercise caution with food and drink in areas where hygiene standards may be uncertain. Eat freshly cooked hot meals and avoid raw salads or unpeeled fruits.
